First throw out two data, which can be seen everywhere:
"According to the statistics of March 20021year, by the end of 19, there were 600 million off-site public offerings, which was 3.8 times of the 654.38+58 million individual investors."
"According to the statistics in May 2022, by the end of 2 1, there were more than 720 million fund investors and more than 654.38+97 million individual stock investors in China."
However, this problem is very big. From the simple split point of view, funds are divided into public offering and private offering. In a narrow sense, and you ask about public offering, the data cited above are all public offering data, but they are also divided into many categories: money funds, bond funds, stock funds and so on.
Most of the above-mentioned 720 million yuan are money funds, and they all participate when investors don't know what they have invested, because Internet platforms such as a treasure and a letter have one-click purchase channels, attracting a lot of funds and customers. For example, most people don't know that what they "store" in a treasure is actually a macro fund.
On this basis, the statistics of 720 million yuan will be calculated again. For example, if a treasure and a letter each leave 1000 yuan, it will be automatically transferred to current wealth management, and the participant data will be calculated twice with high probability. The number of people who actually participate in bond funds is far less than this figure of 720 million, and the number of people who participate in hybrid and equity funds is far less than that of bond funds.
So if you ask about the number of participants in equity funds, and only consider public offerings, the actual number of participants must be calculated by 10 million people.
Also from the perspective of private placement:
In 2022, the total management scale of Public Offering of Fund is about 27 trillion, of which the monetary fund accounts for nearly half.
The total management scale of private equity funds is close to 20 trillion, and most of them are products invested by millions, which has restrictions on qualified investors. Many of them participate in the name of institutions. Personally, the investable assets exceed100000 yuan, accounting for 1% of the total population in China, and 3% of the population meets the standards of qualified investors. These people may not have invested, but they have objective needs.
So the number of private investors is calculated in millions.
